TRACI SUZANNE
There was a wild kid in the family
Wild child
Ever into everything
Stirring every pot
Pushing every button
Trouble
Double trouble on two legs
Mischievous did not begin
To describe this one
A little monster
At a young age
A name given with a smile
For the terror from this little monster
Came with laughter
And joy
Trouble-maker, of course
First to find the funny side of everything
Stubborn
Independent
Absolutely
Never still
Except when a book was at hand
It was safe then for the others
Only then could they be sure
A practical joke was not brewing
Little instigator
Who could not enjoy
The fun and moments sheer bedlam
That followed this one
Little monster, aptly named
Even now, I say the name and smile
I know there are those loved ones
Some who now live far away
Some who only live in my heart
Who would say
Are you talking about her
Or was it you
So many years ago

Stopped to write this on the way back from an auction while listening to Traci Chapman sing “The Promise (If You Wait For Me)” – on the corner of Lyons Road and Glades in Boca Raton, FL
